In Egypt, a "marathon" is synonomous with a 5k at 4:30 PM in a place called the Wadi Degla Protectorate, one of Egypts National Parks. Prior to my own visit to the Wadi, it was described to me as "a giant sand pit" and "a big gulley," both of which proved to be accurate descriptions.
The Wadi is sort of like a large sandbox multiplied by the grand canyon. It was intense, but we survived. Hopefully I will add pictures to this post very soon.
In other news, I have decided to extend my stay in Egypt until Wednesday so that we can fit in a short trip to Mount Sinai before I leave.
